Singularities....if Ryan and his servants weren't facing them, they were training for them, and Singularities were never natural. In France, they had to an army of crazed servants and evil dragons while in Rome, they faced a command of evil Roman armies. Later, they just got harder as the group from Chaldea were almost killed in London and lost a lot of friends in America. Now...Ryan was preparing for the next one by training old and new servants alike.

One of these servants was the Archer class servant Atalanta who was the boy's original servant of that class. He first met when she was one of Jeanne Alter's berserk servants and then he summoned her in Rome as one of his original servants. However, after the battle against Medea and the Argonauts in the Third Singularity, the boy was able to summon more powerful Archer class servants. The servant was, unfortunately, sidelined to help to get experience and ascension materials.

That all changed after London when Solomon almost killed Ryan and his entire main party of servants. It was back then when the brown-haired boy realized that if he indeed was to beat Grand Caster and save humanity, he needed to utilize all of his servants and not just his main party. Now he helped all of his servants to reach their full potential. This was the reason during the Fifth Singularity the group from Chaldea was able to put an end to Medb and Cu Alter's plans. Now, as they prepared for the upcoming Sixth Singularity, Ryan currently helped training his first Archer servant to become stronger as she was soon back as part of the main party.

Currently, both Ryan and Atalanta were the Chaldea training room as the boy was trying to help her improve her skills with some target practice. The target is using was a chained up Fionn who was being punished for peeping on Mashu while she was in the shower. Now the Lancer servant had multiple arrows in his chest and would probably have bled out if Irisveil wasn't already tending to his wounds. Meanwhile, the Greek heroine was starting to get tired from shooting all those arrows at him.

Atalanta sighed as she walked over to her master, who had a towel to bush off the sweat on her forehead and took a sip of her water. "Thanks, master. I didn't know how much I needed that though I have to ask: why are you having me train this way?"

The brown-haired boy just smiled at her. "Well...while this was a punishment for Fionn, I also wanted to help you get used to fighting servants that have advantage on you, so you know how to fight them just in case."

"Then wouldn't it been better if he could have defended himself and fought back?" the girl asked bluntly.

"Yeah, but where's the fun in letting him defend himself?" Ryan stated, stoically. "Besides...he needs to learn to stop trying to take Mashu away from me."

"Ok then...well if you excuse me, I'm gonna go take a bath now.," the cat-girl said with a smile. "Almost killing Fionn surprisingly made me work up a sweat, but before I go, I want to ask something of you, master."

The boy looked to his servant with a confused look. "And what would that be?"

"I would like you to take me out on a date. You owe me for sidelining me for so long.," Atalanta said with a stern glare. "I know you have other servants, but it doesn't mean it didn't hurt when you didn't allow me to fight by your side for three months."

Ryan sighed, knowing that he hurt in his servant's voice. "Listen...I'm sorry for that. I'm still trying to get used to having all of you on my side. I know I used to think the only good servants were the strong ones I summoned, but I've learned my lesson. All my servants are good and I promise to help them reach their full potential."

Atalanta nodded as she smiled at the boy before kissing him on the cheek. "Good to see you've learned your lesson. Now I'm going to get ready for our date. I'll meet you at the Rayshift area in two hours. Don't be late or Fionn won't be the only one that will know how sharp my arrows are today."

The boy laughed nervously as he watched the girl walk away. He began to wonder if the girls actually liked him or just liked to make his life here in Chaldea difficult with all the fighting and death threats. Hopefully, it was the first one because he had to admit the girls he summoned were some of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen....except Stheno. He still wasn't into lolis.

About a half-hour later, Ryan was walking back into his room, deciding to take a shower himself before going on a date with his first Archer servant. He didn't want to upset her by not trying to look his best or decent when the two of them went on their date. When he got to his room, he immediately stripped into just his underwear after grabbing a clean change of clothes to change into once he was done as he walked to the bathroom door. However, when he opened the door, got steam peeled out of it as it temporarily blinded him. When his vision cleared, his face immediately turned a bright shade of red as he saw a familiar Neko sitting in his tub completely naked.

"Master?!" Atalanta screamed as she quickly tried to cover herself up. "What are you doing?! Get out of here you pervert!!!"

"Archer?!" the boy cried deeply confused. "Why are you in my--whoa!!"

Ryan quickly slammed the door shut as five arrows embedded themselves into the door. The boy sighed in relief as he heard a female wolf whistle behind him. He turned to see Jeanne Alter smirking as she examined her half-naked master standing before her.

"Nice undies, Ryan.," the fallen holy maiden stated with a smile. "By the way, I let Atalanta take a bath here seeing how her room is far from the training room, but it looks like you already know that. So did you like what you saw?"
